There has arisen a new fashion of late years among the most ad- vanced class of young mothers, who pride themselves upon bringing their babies up on the best of sci- entific theories. Instead of spending the great proportion of its time in fine wea- ther in being wheeled up and down, the modern baby does not go out at all. The shock of this statement to old-fashioned ears may be cruel, but the system often works well, nevertheless, and a little thought applied to it will show why. It is a plan that not only arrives at sev- eral advantages, but it also avoids many drawbacks. Those who recoil with alarm at what sounds so radi- cal an innovation may be relieved by the knowledge that if the mod- ern baby never goes out, neither | does it ever come in, but from the very first is kept day and night in an atmosphere of freshness. Such a baby was found recently on a clear but chilly mid- winter day, in a large, open-windowed room. A brisk open fire was burning, great potted ferns, apparently as healthy as the baby, stood about the crib, and a olemn golden collie kept watch. The baby herself, who had never 'been taken out of the house, & most triumphant argument in fa- vor of any system. Her whole eight months of life had been oc- cupied solely in sleeping twenty hours out of the twenty-four, and in gaining the requisite number of "ounees per week. She had never breathed stagnant air since her en- try into a world where there is fresh air for every one, although so many poeple are kept on short commons. A system of screens and light, warm coverings was right at hand in readiness for any drop in the temperature, and one could but ad- mit that a fresh-air child and an im- _prisoned child could be one and the 'same. : There are many advantages to be laimed for this system during the | first year of existence besides the time, trouble and ex- only is the mother | pense. Not ect | cape, @xcep spared all worry about wind and | maids, but the baby, also, is spared There is no jiggling peram- | | with all its Oppor- ; tunities for lurchings, slippings and: geueral discomfort. The gain to the weak baby eyes alone would be worth the inven tion. A very young baby cannot) with the passing weene as can older children, but the eyes it will need so much soou can easily be strained by glaring 'sunlight. Youth's Companion. meee One of the latest things for the nervous woman who is trying tu roduce her fictions ferves is the bran bath just before retiring at} night. 'This not only has a soothing | t, but incidentally softens and whitens the skin. 'To make the th buy ordinary bran at a feed | unimpeachable , sunny, | was | , woods near Ally cioth from twelve to eighteen inches square, and stuff it with bran un- tii about as full as a pine pillow. This bag is put in a bathtub, half- filled with warm water, and squeez- ed until the water is brown and bubbly. It is not well to remain in the water longer than five or six minutes, and, if possible, the bath- er should rest ten minutes and then be massaged. If there is no one to do the massaging one can rub the body thoroughly with a rough towel and koead it with the hands. PREJUDICE AGAINST SLEEP.
